Chapter 347: Chapter 199: Snatching Luck and Provoking Innate Thunder_2

"So you must leave Chengyun Sect as soon as possible, head in this direction—all the arrangements have already been made for you, and there is a special spiritual vein there that’s sufficient to let you break through from the Purple Mansion Stage to the Spirit Origin Stage," an Elder said, taking out a map and handing it to Gu Shanhai.

Another Supreme Elder was swift and soon took out a storage ring, stating, "Inside there are Eight Diagrams class heavenly treasures and earth marvels you need for your breakthrough in the Purple Mansion Stage, as well as a large number of resources required for cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Spirit Plants you need."

"I will accompany you for a part of the way but not too far. After I’ve seen you off, I will use the Life Reflection Mirror to erase all of your memories of returning, to prevent the knowledge from affecting us."

Knowledge Tribulation is a tribulation based on common knowledge; as long as they do not have the corresponding memories, naturally, they cannot form the corresponding behaviors.

Without knowledge, how could one form common sense?

Gu Shanhai was also startled; he hadn’t expected Chengyun Sect to go this far.

Originally, he just thought of asking them to help him leave, but he hadn’t expected them to arrange everything for him, including how to return.

"Thank you, Elders," Gu Shanhai understood why Chengyun Sect had endured for such a long time.

As for any traces of himself, there was no need to worry. With so many Mountain Gate Arrays and sect-defending treasures in Chengyun Sect, they could certainly help Gu Shanhai erase the traces of his departure, not to mention that the ones operating them were a group in the Peeping Dao Stage. Even if the Juxia Sect and Feather Transformation Sect came over, they would not find any traces.

"Take care, and return quickly," Xi Huan said somewhat helplessly.

As his voice fell, Gu Shanhai was immediately teleported away.

And the next instant, the memory was erased, and the crowd came back to their senses somewhat confusedly, then quickly reacted, "Wait, where’s Shanhai? Wasn’t he supposed to come back?"

"Could something have happened? No, that’s not right. It seems that the Eight Diagrams class heavenly treasures and the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation resources I prepared for Shanhai have disappeared."

"And that map, why do I have no memory related to that map?"

"An incident? We used the Life Reflection Mirror ourselves to erase a small portion of our memory. Everyone in the entire sect has lost the corresponding memory."

Everyone present was an old monster in the Peeping Dao Stage, and they instantly deduced that the memory had been erased willingly. If it wasn’t voluntary, even if someone in the Peeping Dao Stage held the Life Reflection Mirror, they wouldn’t have been able to tamper with their memories.

Even Knowledge Tribulation couldn’t change their memories and could only affect them indirectly, so there was no other way but to do it willingly.

"Should we look for him?" The meaning behind the question was whether they should search for Gu Shanhai.

"No need to search. The Sect Leader probably knows something about this. The reason we sent Shanhai away is likely that there is danger here," Xi Huan said calmly.

Everyone instantly understood. It must be because of Knowledge Tribulation!

If there was any danger to Chengyun Sect, then it was them who had been affected by Knowledge Tribulation.

Even though they had subconsciously overlooked Shen Heng’s situation, Gu Shanhai had reminded them in his unique way about the dangers Knowledge Tribulation posed to them.

Therefore, they all knew if they went looking for Gu Shanhai now, they would likely try to harm him because of some matters. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent him away from Chengyun Sect and then erased their traces, making it impossible for themselves to find him.

Of course, if they wanted to find him, they could still easily do so. With the power of Chengyun Sect, finding someone was an easy task, even with the items they had given Gu Shanhai. Even if they had erased the traces of those items, there would still be a trace left behind, and they would still be able to find him.

Elsewhere, Gu Shanhai, along with Little White and Azure Dragon, also seemed bewildered, finding themselves suddenly in the wilderness.

"F*ck, these people are super-efficient. If it weren’t for the fact that I still needed to talk to them and they had to explain things, they could have made the arrangements within a second," Gu Shanhai hurriedly stored Little White and Azure Dragon, and after checking his belongings, he quickly left.

Out of caution, they did not directly send Gu Shanhai to the spiritual vein region marked on the map but instead left him with nearly a hundred thousand li to cover, a distance Gu Shanhai would have to travel himself, resorting to the Five Elements Great Escape technique to avoid leaving any clues.

These people were all sharp-minded and would not actively come looking for him. This arrangement was also for the security of Gu Shanhai.

"First, find a place to transcend the calamity, and don’t worry about the inner tribulation. With the Heart Demon Avatar, no matter how many come, they’re just nutrients."

"Killing tribulation hasn’t fully formed yet, and Shen Heng ran out of life, it’s most likely stillborn."

"Now it’s just the external tribulation left. Judging by the situation, it’s probably the Heavenly Tribulation."

Gu Shanhai looked up at the sky, where the once clear weather was gradually gathering dark clouds, and the Heart Demon Avatar within the foundation of Gu Shanhai’s cultivation was also crumbling bit by bit.

"Lucky to have the Five Elements Great Escape, otherwise, I’d really have had to leave," Gu Shanhai felt the terrifying energy brewing within those dark clouds. It was really a ruthless move, using the highest level of Heavenly Tribulation against him.

It’s the kind of Heavenly Tribulation only those at the Peeping Dao Stage would experience, which could turn at least ten-thousand-mile radius into flat ground.

Use the tribulation to temper the body? If it were a Foundation Establishment Stage Heavenly Tribulation, Gu Shanhai could still pull off some fancy moves, but with the Peeping Dao Stage’s tribulation, he feared even his ashes would be annihilated.

In an instant, the demon avatar shattered, and terrifying thunderbolts fell from the clouds in a flash.

Inside the ten-thousand-mile radius, countless rays descended.

"This judgment is terrifying," Gu Shanhai navigated through the thunder.

Thunder belongs to shock, and in the Five Elements, shock is associated with wood; thus, Gu Shanhai used the Wood Escape to move through the tribulation.

Logically, his Five Elements Great Escape should directly make the tribulation lose its judgment on him and subside, but that’s under normal circumstances. Now, he had taken away the protagonist’s life force, and the kind that’s determined to kill him, how could it end so easily?

Therefore, he could only dodge.

Relentlessly relying on Wood Escape to keep moving away from it, he inevitably suffered numerous injuries.

The power was too dominant. Even with his profound Five Elements Great Escape, just like when Gu Shanhai and Shen Heng dueled, he could afford countless mistakes, whereas Shen Heng could only afford one. Faced with this unknown Heavenly Tribulation, Gu Shanhai was in a similar predicament; a single misstep could cause substantial harm.

Fortunately, his Spirit Root Ability had endowed him with a powerful vitality, allowing his body to continuously cycle between being charred and regenerating.

"The Five Elements Great Escape is still not enough. It can handle equals, but against something too strong, it’s a bit of a stretch. I need to upgrade it."

"The Inner Demon Tribulation is here too!"

Gu Shanhai suddenly felt a trace of irritability, and all sorts of desires started to amplify.

However, for Gu Shanhai, this was good news.

The Heart Demon Avatar was slowly reforming. Previously, it had bought Gu Shanhai three minutes and was completely pulverized, but fortunately, within Gu Shanhai’s body, whether it was Spirit Plant or Divine Skills, all could regrow like chives as long as he didn’t die.

A great deal of negative emotions were devoured by the Heart Demon Avatar, resulting in a vague human shape beginning to re-coalesce within his cultivation foundation.

"I hope the inner tribulation can help out and quickly restore my Heart Demon Avatar. I’m counting on it to work with the Five Elements Great Escape to dodge the tribulation."

Gu Shanhai knew that relying solely on the Five Elements Great Escape, he would either be exhausted to death or have to go back and come again.

The logical choice would be the latter, to return to "The First Epoch" and recuperate in a mid-level area before coming back, but Gu Shanhai understood this was pointless.

Dodging calamities was not supposed to be played this way. If he came back, he would have to go through the tribulations again.

Instead, by constantly gathering data from this tribulation and further perfecting the Heart Demon Avatar, he could truly dodge this tribulation, and even manage to hide so securely that the tribulation couldn’t find him at all.

True knowledge comes from practice, and relying on data alone is mostly armchair strategizing.
